This wire-wrapped jewelry looks handcrafted and polished at the same time. The bow-link chain necklaces are simple elegance, while charm-laden bracelets tell the Christmas story Southwest-style.

Wall sculptures and mirrors have a found/folk art collage quality that’s right in tune with Albuquerque’s eclectic Western vibe. These one-of-a-kind pieces are a little pricey, but more affordable mixed-media art cards run about 20 bucks apiece.

Modern Olive

etsy.com/shop/modernolive

"Searching for infant dresses in bold, brilliant, beautiful colors was like trying to milk a tumbleweed," says Etsy store owner Heidi. A love of textiles informs her line of clothes for little cutie-pies. Some items—such as the adorable and reversible "Miss Muffet" hat—are made from vintage sewing patterns.

Feature

Paper Menagerie

etsy.com/shop/papermenagerie

"Gocco printing" is a screenprinting technique that was developed in Japan in the late 1970s. The press looks like a toy and involved flashbulbs. We’re smitten. Paper Menagerie works Gocco magic on found stationary, creating greeting and conversation cards with handmade flare.

R.Potter’s "BloKs" are sorta like postmodern

Feature

Sorlenna’s Studio

Whimsical crafted goods come in the form of a cat ears and tail costume set, crocheted bees, hand puppets, and prairie dolls. Hats and super-soft knitted wrist warmers are more practical but not less fun.

Feature

Sunflower Glassworks

etsy.com/shop/SunflowerGlassworks

Sushi tastes better when it’s served on a Zenlike fused glass tray. Or serve snacks at a friend’s next art opening from a Mondrian-inspired platter. Sunflower’s "woven glass" line of plates fuses subtlety with meticulous craftsmanship.

Feature
